Pakistan has banned TikTok, China’s video-sharing app, for the second time. The Pakistani media regulator undertook the move on Thursday after a court order citing “unethical and immoral content” on the platform. “Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) has issued directions to the service providers to immediately block access to the TikTok app,” the regulator said following the order from the Peshawar high court. TikTok challenged the latest ban in Pakistan. “TikTok is built upon the foundation of creative expression, with strong safeguards in place to keep inappropriate content off the platform,” it said.
